The School of Geography and Environmental Science is seeking to appoint a Senior Project Administrator. This position will support the BBSRC/DEFRA-funded project ‘Towards Resilient Industrial Socio-Metabolic relations (TRI-SoMe CHICKEN)’ awarded to Prof. Emma Roe and colleagues, funded through the Strengthening the Resilience of the UK Food System call. TRI-SoMe CHICKEN, situated between cultural food geographies and science and technology studies, examines the benefits and harms of an industrialised food system to communities of humans, animals, microbes, and the environment. It does this through the lens of socio-metabolic relations – a conceptual framework that moves beyond functional understandings of inputs and outputs, to integrate lived experiences of benefits and harms. It will forge a novel policy instrument of ethical principles for socio-economic transitions to UK food system resilience. The project goal is to develop resilient socio-metabolics through co-produced knowledge, intervention and engagement, by researchers, industry stakeholders and consumers.

The purpose of the Senior Project Administrator is to ensure the provision of comprehensive, effective and efficient administrative support to the research project and its team. The team includes Prof Justin Sheffield (Southampton), Dr Paul Hurley (Southampton), Prof Damian Maye (U of Gloucestershire), Prof Christina Vogel (City University), Dr Sarah Lambton (Bristol), Dominic Watters (U of Southampton), Oistein Thorsen (FAI Farms) and Samantha Green (Applied Group). It is also to apply judgement and provide detailed, specialist advice and guidance as required.

  • To organise internal and external events, ensuring all activities run efficiently by co-ordinating diaries, booking venues, and supplying relevant information.
  • To support internal and external project communications.
  • To undertake financial and research administration processes and provide support to management with budget monitoring processes. 
  • To provide secretarial/P.A. services to the project lead where required, including the co-ordination of diaries, arranging and servicing meetings, filtering problems and enquiries, drafting and issue of documentation, organisation of events and attending meetings on behalf of the manager as appropriate.
